EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company NRC Inspection Report Nos. 07200030/2018001 and 05000309/2018001 An announced safety inspection was conducted on May 1, 2018, at the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company (Maine Yankee) Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). The inspectors assessed whether Maine Yankee personnel were operating and maintaining ISFSI programs at an away-from-reactor (AFR) ISFSI in conformance with the commitments and requirements contained in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), Safety Evaluation Report (SER), Certificate of Compliance (CoC), Technical Specifications (TS), Quality Assurance (QA)

program, Maine Yankee procedures, and 10 CFR Part 72. The inspectors' review was directed toward confirming the ongoing adequacy of the radiation protection, fire protection, emergency preparedness, surveillance, maintenance, environmental monitoring, training, QA, and corrective action programs. The inspectors observed activities, interviewed personnel, and reviewed records and procedures. Based on the results of this inspection, no findings of significance were identified.

Inspection Report 07200030/2018001 and 05000309/2018001

The inspectors reviewed the most recent independent audit of the ISFSI program. The inspectors determined that issues were entered into the corrective action program, prioritized, and evaluated commensurate with their safety significance. Corrective actions were implemented to address identified issues and were tracked to closure. The QA program evaluated changes in the ISFSI program to ensure that any changes that were implemented would not decrease the overall effectiveness of the program. The inspector also reviewed Maine Yankee's 10 CFR 72.212 evaluation report and ensured it was being appropriately updated.

c. Findings Based on the results of this inspection, no findings of significance were identified.

II. Exit Meeting Summary On May 1, 2018, the inspectors presented the inspection results to J. Stanley Brown, ISFSI Manager and other Maine Yankee personnel.
